Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To obtain socks that have a high-fitting property and prevent slipping when worn. [Structure] A sock that is knitted from a toe portion using a flat knitting machine and ends knitting at a toe section, wherein one needle bed is used to knit the front portion of the sock and the other sock is knitted At the same time, the stitches that cover the arched portion and the constricted portion at the rear portion of the ankle are made fine so as to give a high fit property.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a sock knitted by using a flat knitting machine, and more particularly to a sock capable of preventing slippage during wearing without impairing the appearance.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Many socks are knitted using a circular knitting machine. In the case of a circular knitting machine, the toe portion is knitted out from the rubber band portion, and the toe portion is the end side of knitting, and the toe portion is discharged from the circular knitting machine with the toe portion open, and the opening portion is sewn in a later step.

In recent years, socks have been knitted using a flat knitting machine. In the case of a flat knitting machine, the front and rear needle beds are arranged to face each other, so when knitting socks, the knitting sequence can be reversed from that of the circular knitting machine, and the knitted fabric is discharged from the flat knitting machine after the completion of knitting of the rubber band. Since the socks are in a completed state when they are sewn, it is possible to eliminate the need to sew the toes in the subsequent step as in the circular knitting machine.

However, socks knitted by using any of the above-mentioned knitting machines lacked the fitting property such that they would slip off when worn. Therefore, in order to provide a high-fitting property and prevent slipping off when worn, the ankle part and the arch part and the instep part on substantially the same course may be knitted in a loop by inserting elastic threads such as rubber threads separately. It was done.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the sock knitted as described above, the part that imparts high-fitness is orbitally knitted, and therefore the instep and front ankle parts appear on the front side when the sock is worn, causing the appearance of the sock to be impaired. There was a problem that the part that was originally unnecessary was given a high fit, so that part was tightened when it was worn, or the cost was increased because rubber rubber was used separately. The present invention is intended to solve the various problems described above.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the inventor of the present application has conducted diligent research, and as a result, the insertion of the rubber thread by the circular knitting enhances the tightening force, but when considering the shape of the human body, the ankle is the best. It was discovered that the rubber thread insertion part slips down to the ankle part under the influence of the tightening force due to its thinness, and similarly the arch part tends to slip down to the toe part, and there is a constriction along the human body. It has been found that it is most effective to give high fit to only the arch, that is, only the arch and the rear of the ankle. In the present invention, at least a pair of front and rear needle beds are provided to face each other. Using a flat knitting machine, use a flat knitting machine to knit the arches / insteps, heels, ankles, and the ankles to the appropriate length, and then knit the socks to finish the knitting. , Of the heel Using the needles of the needle bed on the side in charge of knitting, knit the stitches that cover the arch and the back of the ankle so that they are finer than the size of the stitches that cover the instep and the calf. I made up the socks.

[0007]

[Action]

 When a flat knitting machine is used to knit in a completed state from the toe part to the mouth rubber part, only the part where high fitting property must be given is knitted with fine stitches. At the same time, the high-fitting part appears only on the sole side of the foot and the rear side of the ankle when worn.

[0008]

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the sock of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows short socks 1, which are knitted by knitting with a cotton yarn as a front yarn and an FTY (filament twist yarn) as a back yarn.

In the figure, the portions indicated by A and B across the center line show knitted fabrics that are knitted using the needles of the front needle bed and the rear needle bed of the flat knitting machine. For the socks, first use the needles on the front and back needle beds to slide the carriage (not shown) so that the toe part 2 is knitted out, then slide the carriage back and forth to perform flat knitting with the needles on the rear needle bed. Flat knitting is performed with each needle on the front needle bed to knit the tubular toe part. During the subsequent orbital knitting of the instep part 3 and the arch part 4, the stitch cam acting on the needle of the rear needle bed arranged on the carriage is adjusted under the control of a controller (not shown), and as a result, Only the arch part 4 will be knitted with fine stitches.

Next, the needles on the rear needle bed are continuously operated to knit the heel portion 5, and then the ankle portion 6 is knitted. In this case as well, similar to the knitting of the arch part 4, only the rear side 6a of the ankle part is knitted with fine stitches. After that, the parts up to the rubber band portion 7 are knitted by a conventionally known knitting and discharged from the flat knitting machine.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment. When the arch 14 and the ankle rear side 16a are knitted, knitting is performed so that the stitches of the arched part 14 gradually become finer and gradually become larger. Since it is made, it is possible to give a higher fit than that of the first embodiment. In this case, when knitting using the needles on the rear needle bed, it is necessary to set fine stitch portions 14 and 16a and stitches 14b and 16b of normal size in the same course. It is necessary to add a device such as a step pile device to the knitting machine.

Needless to say, the sock of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be variously implemented without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0014]

【The invention's effect】

 As can be seen from the above-mentioned embodiment, the sock of the present invention has the same structure as the conventional one because the stitches of only the part that is necessary to prevent slippage when worn are made fine to provide high fit. It is not necessary to insert a rubber thread, and the cost can be reduced. Furthermore, the appearance when worn is not impaired, and slippage can be prevented more reliably than in conventional socks that are knitted in a circle by inserting rubber threads.
